Shedding Light on Software Engineering-specific Metaphors and Idioms
Article No.: 207, Pages 1 - 13
Abstract
Use of figurative language, such as metaphors and idioms, is common in our daily-life communications, and it can also be found in Software Engineering (SE) channels, such as comments on GitHub. Automatically interpreting figurative language is a challenging task, even with modern Large Language Models (LLMs), as it often involves subtle nuances. This is particularly true in the SE domain, where figurative language is frequently used to convey technical concepts, often bearing developer affect (e.g., 'spaghetti code). Surprisingly, there is a lack of studies on how figurative language in SE communications impacts the performance of automatic tools that focus on understanding developer communications, e.g., bug prioritization, incivility detection. Furthermore, it is an open question to what extent state-of-the-art LLMs interpret figurative expressions in domain-specific communication such as software engineering. To address this gap, we study the prevalence and impact of figurative language in SE communication channels. This study contributes to understanding the role of figurative language in SE, the potential of LLMs in interpreting them, and its impact on automated SE communication analysis. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of fine-tuning LLMs with figurative language in SE and its potential impact on automated tasks that involve affect. We found that, among three state-of-the-art LLMs, the best improved fine-tuned versions have an average improvement of 6.66% on a GitHub emotion classification dataset, 7.07% on a GitHub incivility classification dataset, and 3.71% on a Bugzilla bug report prioritization dataset.

Domain-Specific Languages for Software Engineering
HICSS '01: Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences ( HICSS-34)-Volume 9 - Volume 9Domain-specific languages [1, 2, 3] are programming languages for solving problems in a particular domain and provide built-in abstractions and notations for that domain. Domain-specific languages are usually small, more declarative than imperative, ...
Fixing idioms: a recursion primitive for applicative DSLs
PEPM '13: Proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN 2013 workshop on Partial evaluation and program manipulationIn a lazy functional language, the standard encoding of recursion in DSLs uses the host language's recursion, so that DSL algorithms automatically use the host language's least fixpoints, even though many domains require algorithms to produce different ...
Mining idioms from source code
FSE 2014: Proceedings of the 22nd ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on Foundations of Software EngineeringWe present the first method for automatically mining code idioms from a corpus of previously written, idiomatic software projects. We take the view that a code idiom is a syntactic fragment that recurs across projects and has a single semantic purpose. ...
